Dancers The Fitness Levels
Dance is one of the most enjoyable and creative physical exercises. However, its also the most strenuous exercise since dancers are rehearsing and training most of the time. Its different from other physical exercises as it involves the repetitive movements of lower limbs.
As the intensity and duration increases, it results in higher chances of injury.

The other major reasons of injury include years of overuse, dancing on hard ground and ignoring muscle imbalances.
